PATTERSON GETS OFF EASY.

The Youthful Burglar Given a Light
Sentence His Age Saved Him.
In the Superior Court yesterday the case
of Lester Patterson, charged with burglary,
was brought up for trial. Patterson was
represented by s. B. Adams, Esq, who ad-
vised him to plead guilty to larceny from
the house of less than $50 Solicitor Gen
eral duBignon consented to accept the plea,
and it was entered. Mr.. Adams appealed
to the court in Patterson's behalf, speaking
of his youth and the good character he had
hitherto borne, and of his father as a hard
working, honest and industrious man. He
also said that the Central railroad, whose
office Patterson burglarized, was not
inclined to push the prosecution
Judge Adams sentenced Patterson to three
months in Jail and fine of 500, in default
of the payment of which his term of I'M
prisonment will be six months.
Serry Mitchell was convicted of horse
stealing and sent to the penitentiary for six
years.

Editor Morning Net0S: DEAR SIR--In
your last Sundays issue we called the atten-
ton of the public to the fact that they
might save money by giving us orders for
Xmas Turkeys, and that we would take
orders till the Goth at 15c and 18c. per
pound. Now we have orders for at least
800 Turkeys and want to get orders for as
many more, and now ask our friends to call
and give us their orders. 1t is useless to
wait. We cannot and will not be undersold
We will take orders for l5c and 18c., and
guarantee that no one can or will sell for
less, and if they do we will meet them, no
matter what their prices are, if the quality
is the same, and we will go further and
promise you that the one who waits until
the last day will pay well for waiting Re-
member, you will take no risk of being dis
appointed if you give us your orders. We
will positively close our books for orders
after the 21st at 15c. and 1Sc. After that
date we will gladly sell any one who calls
but cannot promise to do SO at same price.
VIII if we can. Respectfully,

that the jurymen had agreed that the
widow should receive damages, but could
not agree as to the amount Judge Harden
gave them the instructions they desired and
they retired. They did not reach verdict
before the court adjourned, however, and
as some of the jurymen sent home for

Many merchants get all they can for their
goods during the height of the season and
rely on alleged low prices to work off the
surplus stock on the eve of q new season.
We think differently. We make it a rule
to try and sell our goods NTH the season,
being satisfied with a continual small profit
in'preference to a high priced ''spurt' and
then big stock to carry over at the end of
the season. In other words, we put the
lowest living prices on our stock from the
start, and do not trust TO luck or "below
cost" sale-that hoary-headed old chestnut
to work Off what is left SO much for the
wedge Now for the maui to drive our
arguments in.
Our stock has been augmented by our
holiday selections, comprising special gar
ments, Suits, OvercoatS, Neckwear, Silk
HandkerchIefs and Furnishings for the gala
season; many novelties, all gems of the
manufacturers good taste. We have a
pretty line Of Prince Albert Suits not only
the well-known blacks and blues, but in
mixed goods. Also dashing line of four
button Getaway Suits. In short, our entire
stock indicates the merchant tailor rather
than the ready-made dealer, without the

Marion Fleming Plays to Fine Audi
ence in Spite of Old Pluvius.
In spite of the rain, which poured steadily
from late in the afternoon until midnight,
there was a good audience at the Theatre
last night to see THE Brook" and Marion
Fleming Manager Mordaunt says that in
one respect "The Brook" has proved an I'M
fortunate name ever since he has been
South. The company has played
thirteen nights since it left Washington, and
on every night except two it has rained, but
in spite of that 1.-The Brook" is a success
Miss Fleming is the same bright, vivacious
little soubrette that charmed everybody who
saw her with James O. Barrows in Flash
light last season. Her company contains
four other people Miss Percy Lorraine is
a bright little actress and has a cultivated
voice. Arthur Gibson is what may be called
fetching" comedian. He gets the laugh
out of the audience. He Is interesting at
all times. Albert Schlicht made a hit as
Tracy" and Charles Travis was very
clever as the Percy" of the piece.
The play itself is just what it was when
Salisbury's Troubadours did it-nothng
more, nothing less. The company that plays
it has good deal to do, and Miss Fleming
and her people have succeeded in doing that
much very successfully. A special matinee
performance of "The Brook" will be given
this afternoon, and the concluding perform
ance tonight.

SHOPPERS KEPT AT HOME.
Bad Weather Runs the Holiday Buy
ers Of the Streets.

0rS On the streets
The heavy rain which began yesterday
afternoon kept all except the most persist
emit holiday shoppers at home. There were
a few out late in the afternoon and
during the early evening, but
most of them staid indoors,
getting ready to begin their rounds to-day
in good earnest. The Signal Bureaus pre-
dictions at midnight were not of very ell
couraging nature, and if the weather clerk
does not slip up to-day will not be much of
day for shopping.
The merchants feel as badly about it as
the shoppers do, for they say that they have
had very little holiday trade yet The
clerks have thus far had comparatively
easy time of it, but from now until after
Christmas, they expect to have all they can
do.
The merchants can put out their sidewalk
displays to-day. The City Council at its
meeting two weeks ago suspended the ordi-
nance prohibiting the displaying of goods
on the sidewalks, from Dec II until Jan. 3,
upon condition that the space occupied by
dealers should not exceed two and hall
feet from store to sidewalk, and three feet
from the curb toward the street, and that
no goods or b. xes be left out after o'clock
The toy and novelty dealers have been
working to get their sidewalk displays out
but the weather indications last night were
against much of q show to-day

TO FIGHT THE NEW ROAD.
The City and Suburban Railway Peo-
pie Getting Ready for the Fray.

The City and Suburban Railway Peo-
pie Getting Ready for the Fray.
1t was reported yesterday that a writ of
certiorari had been issued on the applica-
ton of the City and Suburban railway
against the City of Savannah AMI the
Rural Resort Railway Company, requiring
both to show cause why an injunction
should not be granted to prevent the new
railway from building its road in the streets
which the old company claims to have the
exclusive right TO use under its charter.
The City and Suburban people, it is
said, do not claim Bay, West Broad and
East Broad streets, US 1t was released under
an amendment to their charter, from building
on these thoroughfares, but they claim the
right TO all the other wide streets in the
city.
President Smart, of the new company, is
as earnest as ever in his work He said
yesterday that an order Is already i'll New
York for 800 tons of steel rails and another
order for ten cars would be placed with
well-known car-buildin2 firm to-day. He
stated that he had no idea that the courts
will support the old company's claim to
streets which it virtually abandoned years
ago. The city authorizes granted his com
pany the right to certain streets, and the
people want the railroad built, and he pro-
posed to go on with the work unless stopped
by the courts
The old company is apparently as deter
mined as the new, and it is understood will
fight for every right that it claims, 1t is
EVIDENT, however, that it has had some tough
legal questions to decide before making a
move, but it has at last, it appears, deter
mined to take up the gauntlet thrown down
by its young rival.

CRACKsMAN WARDS PISTOL.
He Had 1t in His Coat Sleeve Whel
He Got to the Mines

He Had 1t in His Coat Sleeve When
He Got to the Mines.
G. w. Ward alias j. B. Warner, the safe
blower, has arrived at the Rising Fawn con-
vict camp, and by this time is growing ia
miliar with the manner of operating the
underground workings of the mines, but it
will take careful guarding to keep him at
his work, for he is a shrewd thief and he
will never let the opportunity to escape slip
by him if ever it appears. p. H. Conner, the
guard who took him up to the mines, has
written to Col. j. r. Towers, the principal
keeper of the penitentiary, saying that
when Ward arrived and was searched >
loaded pistol was found in his coat sleeVt.
1t is impossible to imagine how Ward OBJ
tanned the pistol or how he managed to con-
ceal it SO long, but he had it, and
if it had not been discovered and
taken away from him his escape
wonld probably have been effected before
he ever started to work for the State. From
a remark that Ward made while he was
here it seems as if be must have had the
pistol before he left. He said; "Tll stay up
there little while, and then I'll pop some
body over. Then I'll show these people
what fine work isl He could hardly have
expected to obtain pistol after he got into
the camp, and his assertion that he would
''pop somebody over' seems to indicate that
he would have the weapon with which to do
the popping.
